Low Carbohydrate Muesli

Chewy and satisfying, this muesli is lower in carbohydrates than the classic type, as it features more nuts and seeds than grains and no dried fruit (which is very high in sugar). It is also wheat- and sugar-free, unlike most of the bought varieties, but you can use a little xylitol (a natural sugar derived from plants)* to sweeten it if you like. (Serves 2).

(GLs per serving = 4)

Allergy suitability: wheat-, dairy-, yeast-free


Ingredients

100 g (4 oz) whole oat flakes
50 g (2 oz) ground almonds
2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp walnuts, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tsp xylitol (optional)
1) Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed.

2) Serve with a tablespoon of berries per person, and a small pot of live natural yogurt or soy yogurt, or skim milk, soy milk, or nut milk (total GLs = 10).

3) Variations: Vary the nuts and seeds (pecans or hazelnuts would work well instead of the walnuts)
